听听听听听听听听The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (Level听1).

听听听听听听听听The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of December听31, 2014 and 2013. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since December听31, 2014, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

(1)	The income approach is used to calculate the fair value of these instruments. Fair value represents the present value of estimated future cash flows, calculated using relevant interest rates, exchange rates, and yield curves at stated intervals. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine the fair value during the current period.
听	In November 2014, we entered into two five year cross-currency interest rate contracts and one eight year cross-currency interest rate contract. These instruments have been categorized by us as Level听3 within the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable inputs associated with the credit valuation adjustment, which we deemed to be significant inputs to the overall measurement of fair value at inception.
(2)	The income approach is used to calculate the fair value of these instruments. Fair value represents the present value of estimated future cash flows, calculated using relevant interest rates and yield curves at stated intervals. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine the fair value during the current period.
(3)	There were no transfers between Levels听1 and 2 within the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December听31, 2014 and 2013.

听听听听听听听听The following table shows a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for the year ended December听31, 2014 for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level听3) (dollars in millions). During the year ended December听31, 2013, there were no instruments categorized as Level听3 within the fair value hierarchy.

听听听听听听听听We also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets include property, plant and equipment and those associated with acquired businesses, including goodwill and intangible assets. For these assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if one or more is determined to be impaired. During 2014 and 2013, we recorded charges of $26听million and nil, respectively, for the impairment of long-lived assets.
